I'm not sure I understand John Mastro & Tim Johnson are trying to achieve here. However, there are a few keys that are much less trouble to use: * C-' C-# C-. C-, C-; C-=. Undefined by default. * C--, C-1, C-2,..., M--, M-1, M-2, .... These are duplicates. If you like you can use one set of them and redefine the other. Notice that C-4 & M-4 are almost useless since in most circumstances they do the same thing as C-u. * M-o. This isn't very useful unless you use enriched-mode. * M-s. The existing M-s prefix key doesn't have very much in it. Eventually the Emacs maintainers will put more in no-doubt, but until then you can put a few things in it. * C-c X. This is left as the default user-defined prefix key. Some of these don't work in terminals, I don't know which ones because I don't use terminals. BR, Robert Thorpe
